pretty odd to do that since they are still alive and can just be returned to their home enviroment... kinda beings into question why we keep these system of cruel and unusual treatment we never asked for or aurhorized through congress and senate... and are actually foreign entities owned by other "entities"

[@Deathswife]

It’s sad but if you think about it, think of the times humans with that knowledge used them to poison other people. They can get away with it and claim it was a bad one the person ate by accident. Or people who aren’t knowledgeable seeing a huge one but want to profit off of it because it can feed dozens of people, that’s a mass murder waiting to happen. It’s not their fault they become poisonous.

@@pazsion I think WATOP said the clams lose the ability to burrow after they get too large. Then they can't feed properly.

Exactly. I don't eat shellfish. I let them live and do their duty

[@daniellapain1576]

Honestly some things just don’t need to be eaten by people. The fact that they literally filter the water being one of the main reasons to not touch them. It’s like looking at an old fish tank filter that’s overdue for a change and saying I’m going to eat that. Second reason is that it lives a long time. Animals that live that long should be kept around and be studied. Third reason should be obvious is that they accumulate poison and is risky to eat anyway.

Back in the 1970s I used to go to Bolinas Ca. I did work there and there used to be a nude lake on the hill near Dogtown. In Bolinas Lagoon when the tide was low we used to get the Geoducks in the mud flats. Interestingly, I knew the name Geoduck way back in the 1950s when I lived in a small town in Western Pennsylvania. Actor Lester Allen and later Oliver Blake played an American Indian with the name Geoduck. If you know the name of the movies, then you are an old fart like me or a movie buff.

I live in the region of Washington where these are grown, and sadly, some of the things that the farms do are so detestable, it angers me to even think about it. The worst thing is deliberately running down the seals and killing them with boat props, and allegedly rifles, who live in the shallows where shellfish are grown. The company you're referring to has a pretty nasty track records of destroying the environment with little care to the eco-system. Those shelters and nets end up all over the shallow lagoons and tide flats, and the general refuse of the industry washes up all over the waterways. I grew up on the water, and while I have zero problem with sustainable shellfish farming, I have a really big problem with that particular company for treating the shallows of my childhood home like the farmers of the great plains region did right before the dust bowl...

Crazy that these things fetch $300/# now. 25 years ago when i was working as a chef we would get these things dirt cheap cuz nobody really liked them. We paid maybe a dollar/pound for g-duck clams and about 60/# for foie gras....interesting hiw things change over time

Yes and spaceships will be made out of tardigrade's skin in the near future, and dogs will deliver ubereats.

Toxic spills are a bit rapid and concentrated to likely be able to usefully use siphon-feeding animals to clean them. Probably could use them to rehabilitate a formerly affected area? But then you really do not want to be introducing novel species into an entirely new location. That's how you get invasive clam species beyond the usual hitchhiking. And remember: harvesting on a commercial scale is strictly controlled.
